There’s an old story about a Mom who was cooking Thanksgiving dinner for her family. In preparing the ham for cooking she cut both ends off the ham. Her children asked her “why do you cut both ends off the ham, Mom?” “I don’t know, she replied, that’s how Mom taught me”. Later she asks her Mother the same question. “Why do we cut the ends off the ham, Mom?” “I don’t know” she replied. “That’s how my Mom taught me. Later she asks her Mom the same question. “Why do we cut the ends off the ham, Mom?” “Oh, honey” she said “Our pan was too small for the ham!”
As soon as we realize there’s a bigger and better pan, we change the way we cook the ham.
